A brief history
The Innovation Fund was established in November 2013 to ensure that good ideas are getting the funding they need to get off the ground and have a positive impact on our service.
We recognise that improvements in diagnostic medicine will only come about as the result of innovative projects and research which will define the quality and delivery of patient care in the future.
The Fund has been a great success since its launch, leading Viapath to double the amount of money individuals can bid for to support their projects from 2015. Our scientific experts are full of bright, innovative ideas, and Viapath will continue to support them in bringing these ideas to life.
Over £160,000 in funding has been awarded to over 30 projects. Some of the projects have led to the introduction of new tests to our repertoire which have added a valuable revenue stream, allowing us to continue our significant investment programme. The window for applications opens twice each year for more ideas and projects, we truly are committed to a culture of innovation to help us to transform pathology.
